2 Samuel 19:33-35

EasyEnglish Bible

³³ King David said to him, ‘Come with me to live in Jerusalem. I will take care of you while you are with me there.’

³⁴ Barzillai answered the king, ‘I will not live many more years. Why should I go to live in Jerusalem with the king? ³⁵ I am already 80 years old. I can no longer tell what is nice or what is bad. I cannot taste what I eat and drink. I cannot still hear people's voices when they sing. I would only cause trouble to you, my lord the king.
